Remains of the Old Merrirnac.

A Richmond dispatch to the New York World
says: The barge Lizzie Wallace arrived az the
Richmond and Danville dock on Friday with 300
tons of old iron consigned to the Old Dominion
Iron and Nail Works. This iron is what may be
called the remains of the Confederate gunboat
Virginia, formerly the United States steamship
Merrimac, which encountered the Monitor III
Hampton Roads during the late war, causing
one Of the most memorable naval engagements
of modern times. The Monitor was disabled and
hauled off and the MerrimaC returned toward
Norfolk, but was never in active service after
ward She was afterward named the Virginia.
The armOr plate was laid aside at the GOSpOrt
navy yard in Portsmouth, after she was blown
up by the C0nfederates. and remained there
until day or two ago when all of it was placed
on the Wallace TO be brought to Richmond. 1t
was sold recently as scrap iron to Northern
gentleman who subsequently sold it to the Old
Dominion Iron and Nail Works 1t will be taken
to Belle Isle and converted into nails. Much of
the armor plate shows signs of having passed
through a severe CannOnading and there are
numbers of small pieces well suited to be pre-
served as relics of the celebrated engagement.

Tired of DR.. McGlynn.

From the Philadelphia Record (Dent)
The McGlynn literature is beginning to be
tiresome. The church has accommodated Nc
Glynn for disobedence of the command to 20 to
Rome and explain himself. He AYERS, on the
contrary, that he has been pushed aside for the
PRONUNCIATION of political principles of which the
the disputants do not agree as to the main facts
is liable to be endless as well as useless. The
public are already suTfeited with this matter
and are looking ahead for something newer and

AS To Preachers.
Ftom a. Roaton HernLd HndI

From the Boston Herald CTnd)
The New York sun remarks that Grover
Cleveland was really born TO be a preacher
This is because the heather rage at him so, we
suppose. He has read the sun some hard SER
mons, for which, if it had a better heart, it
would be grateful. But the sun has not liked
preachers since the day when, according to its
own testimony, a preacher was the means of
defeating the candidate whom it hoped to have
elected 10 the Presidency

The Maiden in the Frame.

BALLADE.
Right above the rocking chair
Hangs the portrait of a maid,
Who had sunny, golden hair,
And a manner somewhat staid.
In the picture she's arrayed,
Not in print or calico,
But in silk, inclined to fade
She who lived so long ago.
Dorothy was sweet and fair;
By her name that is conveyed
To my mind. for | declare,
BY name I'm somewhat swayed!
When the day was done she played
On the spinet, soft and low,
Some old song or Serenade--
She who lived 50 long ago.
You may he inclined to stare,
And to doubt it, I'm afraid,
When / say the maid up there,
With soft eyes and silken braid,
Long beneath the flowers has laid;
My own grandmamma, you know,
Who was quite a belle, they said
She who lived so long ago!

Laughing at the "Boulanger" March
From the Ne,o York Tribune.

From the Net0 York Tribune.
He was a German musician and he smiled as
heyiStened to the 'Revenant de la Revue at
COkey Island yesterday What a happy hit -
ne sad, so like the hero that the French glo-
rify in singing it. An opera boutfe air, better
and nc worse than hundred marches that have
gone before it-a silly chauson such as you can
hear any night i'll the cafes of the Champs Ely
sees. Talk about a national hymn?-why a
bar, any bar, of La Marseillaise' is worth a
mountain of such rubbish. But the tune is
catchy, and it will become a nuisance even here.
And such q nuisance! Fortunately it can't last
The people who sing and whistle it once will be
haunted by it for day, and then it will make
them scker than ever Punch Brothers made
Mark Twain. It's worse than an emetic; you'll
see people running away fromit soon. The Song
of the Colonel in La Femm a Papa is a mira
Gle of music compared with it, What poor re-
frain. the music even worse than tine wOrds.n
Then why do you call it a happy hit?'
Because it reflects the Boulanger movement
to the life It's all silly comedy, all the I'M
thinking noise of the Ignorant rabble. There S
no bone or sinew in it. When a patriotic people
have cause at heart they don't sing variety
show cOupets. Que leur sang impur abreuve
nos slonsn 'Nourir pour la patrie, est lie sort
lie plus BEAU lie plus digne d. envie that's the
sort of sentiment for uprisings of pith and mo-
mcnt. The popularity of In Ravenaut' is a
CHASTITY joke on BOulanger. Last year he had
an official version of La MarseillaeiS' issued SO
that it might be played alike all through the
French army, and then he formally adopted the
hymn of the Girondists, Mourn pour la Patrie.
as a national song also. He wanted to use music
to stir up the French against the Germans, and
now his supporters forget the songs of the Red
Republican, and rush about Paris singing:
'D'abord moi j'portais les pruneaux
Avaitnu 'tet de veau,
Ma fill son ChOcolat
Etma soeur deux oeufssur lie plat.
And they fancy they can brighten people
who sing Die Wacht am Rhein.' Isn't it ftlnnier
than circus, funnier even than Boulanger's
duelYn

No Color Line in England.

The WorId'S London correspondent says
that colored people are apparently popular
in England. He has not been able to see
any prejudice against them there. The few
that he has seen We're in company with
white people and associating with them on
terms of equality. He saw a coal black ne
gro girl leaning upon the arm of fashiona-
bly, dressed Englishman walking along Re
gent street and the Englishman appeared to
be enjoying himself. He also saw
white women, respectable in appearance
and dress leaning upon the arms of
negro men. This correspondent does
not appear to have heard of the refusal of
the King of the Belgians to take Kapiolani,
the Hawaiian Queen, in to the jubilee din
ner because she was black, although not
negro.
No doubt there is very little prejudice
against the negro in England because only
few are seen there, and those of the most
refined type, but it is probable that preju-
dice would crop out if about a million col
ored folks from the cotton fields and tur-
pentine farms should make their appear
ance there. As they improved the preju-
dice might disappear, but it is pretty GER
